Taste the bitter experience

Feeling the reverence of the primitive people around him and successfully discovering the water source made Zhou Xu feel a little better.

But as he walked closer and saw the situation along the lake, Zhou Xu suddenly frowned.

"Has anyone drank the water here?"

Faced with the question, all the tribe members shook their heads.

After successfully discovering the water source, the credibility of Zhou Xu's words among the tribe members suddenly increased by two levels.

Thinking back to Zhou Xu's instructions at that time, each of them had managed to control themselves.

Seeing this, Zhou Xu quickly walked to the lake, picked up a handful of lake water with his hands, it was very clear, and then went up to smell it.

Humans are actually a very keen species. In many cases, their sense of smell and vision are enough for them to judge whether something is edible or not.

The best proof is that food has been in the refrigerator for who knows how long. Many people will open it and smell it before throwing it away.

Basically, as long as it smells and looks okay, most of the food can still be eaten, at least not to death.

Zhou Xu undoubtedly possesses this skill.

If possible, he would of course want to boil the water, but where are the conditions for it now?

On the way here, he had already asked Dashan if they would light a fire.

Dashan told him that on the night of the attack, they had no time to take away the fire and there was no way to make a fire now.

This shows that Dashan's ability to make fire is still at the level of searching for natural fire and then retaining it, and they will not make artificial fire at all.

As for him...

If you ask him about any methods of making artificial fire, such as drilling wood to make fire, using a bow to make fire, etc., he will answer right away.

But the problem now is that he has never practiced it!

This method of lighting a fire is not as easy as it sounds.

At the moment, they are tired, hungry, and thirsty, and anything they can drink will help them feel better.

With this thought in mind, Zhou Xu dipped his fingertips into some lake water and put it into his mouth.

Then he frowned and spat it out with a 'bah' sound.

"It's indeed salty."

After walking in, Zhou Xu noticed that there was a ring of what looked like a salt belt on the edge of the lake, so he blindly guessed that it must be a saltwater lake.

Now that the suspicion has been confirmed, his current mood is really a bit dumbfounding.

The human body needs salt. Of course salt is important, but the problem is that now he wants fresh water even more!

Along the way, he was so thirsty that his throat was about to smoke.

During this period, looking at Zhou Xu's reaction, the surrounding tribe members also realized that there might be something wrong with the water.

But many of them still had their eyes fixed on the clear lake, clearly unable to suppress their urge to drink water.

Zhou Xu, who saw this scene in his eyes, stood up calmly.

"I tell you clearly that you cannot drink this water. The more you drink, the thirstier you will become. But I can also see that many of you still want to drink, so I allow you to take a small sip. You can go and drink what you want.

Bar."

As soon as these words were spoken, many people at the scene immediately rushed to the lake impatiently.

As a result, not even a second after the mouthful of water fell into the lake, they spurted it out on the spot, and some even retched in discomfort.

This scene undoubtedly frightened those who had not had time to drink water.

For a moment, they all looked at Zhou Xu again, and their awe for him became a little stronger.

But at this moment, Zhou Xu was not looking at them, his attention was entirely on Fei Que.

He could tell that Fei Que also wanted to drink water, but after he told him that the water was not drinkable, Fei Que obviously gave up the idea.

Judging from his current performance, Fei Que is a more suitable candidate to develop into his confidant.

As for the mountains...

Still have to observe and observe.

With this thought in mind, Zhou Xu's eyes fell on the tribe members again.

When he first arrived, facing these primitive people, it was unrealistic to just stop them and make them completely obey his orders.

If necessary, we have to let them suffer a little, like now.

The reactions of these people undoubtedly proved him right in the most direct way.

Invisibly, his prestige is accumulating.

He raised his head and glanced at the sky. It was always gray, making it impossible for him to judge the current time relatively accurately.

But counting the time from when he time traveled to now, it's probably not too early.

[It is unrealistic to leave here now and look for a new camp location. The most important thing is that we don’t have water, we don’t have enough food, and we don’t have a clear direction and goal, so we can only wander aimlessly.

Searching randomly is unwise.】

[Under this premise, although the water in this salt lake cannot be drank directly, after simple distillation, I can obtain fresh water and salt at the same time. It just takes a little more effort. 】

[In terms of geographical location. Although the black forest looks weird, the wood should be usable. Camping here is just right in the middle of the black forest and the salt lake. To a certain extent, it's pretty good.

of.】

Thinking of this, Zhou Xu made a complete decision.

"Send the order and we'll camp here!"

After giving this order, Zhou Xu quickly turned his head and looked at Fei Que.

"Fei Que, take some people to the edge of the forest and pick up some dry branches..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Xu's voice paused.

"As for bugs, mice, etc., catch some easily, but don't rush deep into the forest."

"clear."

With a reply, Feiqiao moved swiftly.

After watching the flying bird run away, Zhou Xu turned to look at Dashan aside and asked Dashan what utensils or tools they had on hand.

They were attacked and escaped with their lives, and they didn't have time to take many things with them.

But there is still a little bit of it.

While talking, Dashan found several vessels with uneven edges but quite round insides. Each one was about the size of a rice bowl.

[This looks like the shell of some kind of fruit, similar to a coconut, but not quite like it.]

While Zhou Xu was thinking about it, he knocked on it and made a soft sound of "tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk".

One of them is extraordinarily large, like a small pot.

"Dashan, can this thing be roasted on the fire?"

Although he didn't know why Zhou Xu asked this, Dashan still nodded.

"it should be OK."

After getting this answer, he straightened his thoughts and roughly had an idea.

"Anyway, let's get started. Dashan, you take two people with me to pick up some rocks and bring them back."

Now making fire has become a problem that they must solve. Even though Zhou Xu has no such experience, he can only bite the bullet.

Stones are easy to find, and with the help of Dashan and others, Zhou Xu quickly built a simple stone stove.

During this process, a voice sounded in Zhou Xu's mind...

[System reminder: Congratulations to ‘Zhou Xu’ for establishing the first tribal camp! 】

[System reminder: Do you want to name the newly established tribal camp?]

Along the way, he had to confirm too many things. He originally wanted to wait until he was basically settled before studying the system.

I never thought that this system would jump out on its own.

As for the name issue, Zhou Xu didn't hesitate at all.

"It's called the Salt Lake Tribe."

The new book has just been released. I have to sort out the outline information and deal with the contract signing. For the time being, I will keep updating once a day. After a while, I will return to normal and update twice a day. Thank you for your support!
